The LMP1 category in the World Endurance Championship will be given a refresher after the ACO, in conjunction with the FIA, announced alterations in technical regulations with focus on aerodynamic changes, while the privateer team🐲s are expected to be allowed a DRS system in a bid to close the gap to manufacturer entries.

The new regulations, which are set to be confirmed after the Le Mans weekend, will enabl🌞e LMP1 hybrid teams to raise its front splitter while the changeꦐs to the privateer teams are much more radical in a bid to attract more teams to the competition.

Currently there are just three cars entered into the LMP1 privateer category, two from Rebe🎀llion Racing and one from ByKolles ꦍRacing, while Strakka Racing is plotting a move up to LMP1 for 2017.

To close the gap to the manufacturer entries and make the LMP1 privateering more exciting the ♕ACO and FIA is putt♕ing its backing to an F1-style DRS implementation.

Other small tweaks are also expected to be introduced such as the elimination of number of engines per sea🍒so🐈n in the private category while cars will also be made lighter and wider in a bid to increase lap times.

🌄The governing bodies are yet to confirm regulations for 2018-2021 but at the annual pre-Le Mans press conference it was confirmed the rules would pursue greater safety measurements and continue to focus on fuel emission reductions.
